What the Dickens? A Klingon Christmas Carol!

Everyone knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' yuletide classic A Christmas Carol. But you've not truly appreciated Dickens until you've heard it in its original Klingon tongue.

A Chicago-based theater company is staging A Klingon Christmas Carol, which is exactly what it sounds like. Commedia Beauregard's presentation will play at Raven Theatre from December 1 - 30, 2012.

In this adaptation, Scrooge is a Klingon warrior who has lost his honor and courage. Three ghosts (including the Ghost of Kahless Present!) take him through his past so he can relearn the meaning of the code of the warrior and help Tiny Tim avoid his cruel fate.

Oh, yeah, and the actors perform the entire show speaking Klingon!

The play's been revived a few times over the years, but we wanted to tell you about it in case you hadn't heard of it or were in the area and wanted to see a fun show. More about A Klingon Christmas Carol can be found at BroadwayWorld.com. Get tickets for it here.
